Hi BB...These are all the photographers. Mostly the "raw" jpgs. His finished ones are in a different format and I haven't got them all transferred to my poorly functioning home computer. The best ones were detail and collage shots, I thought.I must admit I have an awful fondness for detail, too. Somehow, a small detail seems to better capture the piece than the whole item.

Hi LB. I read the Blogger Help Group Forum and didn't like the number of times I saw people howling about losing their blog when they switched, or losing access or archives etc. Some people found it painless - but any special formatting was lost. I decided to start fresh with both the beading and writing blog...So far, they seem to be fixing problems with the Beta version pretty quickly and there's more room for html dummies to play with templates. I tried about six and stayed with a version of the simple "minima" template.If you're thinking about moving to Beta, I'd read blogger forum - and remember that people are impatient and the Blogger folks are still working...

PF, thanks. I was on such a run of ambers and purples. Still buying those colors.Chuck..It's odd how it happened. The first thing I imagined was the figure...standing not quite all the way in the frame. I had to come up with the technique for her so that she'd be as accurately rendered as a drawing. But - I had no idea what her face would look like. I drew the simplest cartoon to use as a pattern and her face, from there, drew itself.It's a happy stillness, isn't it?

Very interesting. The image is like pointilist painting, only in 3-D!! Very good work, LJ. Not only will I be keeping up with this page, I may also look into trying my hand at this beading stuff myself...

I've just started a blog about beading and have added your site to my blog roll. I would love it, if you could link my site too. I will also be reviewing bead artists work shortly, so if you are interested, please let me know.
